UFC 117: Anderson Silva Is Tired Of Chael Sonnen Disrespecting Him

“Do you want to be a politician, or do you want to be a fighter or you want to be a gangster? I chose, for myself, being a fighter. If I wasn’t a fighter, I’d be a cop, and in that case it would be a serious problem, because you’re a gangster and I’m a cop … Chael, as a fighter, is a good politician. He thinks he knows something, but on the day of the fight, when we are all alone in there, he’ll have his chance. Once again, he’s saying crap.”

“What he’s saying is disrespecting me, he’s disrespecting me and all opponents I’ve faced. Dan Henderson, in my opinion, is the best wrestler that there is out there on MMA … I’ll keep doing my job the same way I’ve always done. I’ll do a good fight, as I always do, I’ll try to show my technical superiority.” [Tatame]
